The Fangirly Diary of a Geek Girl: Between the detective and the deep blue god

Good morrow, fellow geeks. This week, anglophile fangirls found themselves in a (predictable) conundrum and that’s what the title referes to. The rest? We, as usual, have some comic news, some superhero movie news and some video game news. And, of course, old fandoms! So, come on, let us see what the week brought us.

SATURDAY

Saw Richard II of BBC Two’s The Hollow Crown. I enjoyed it immensely (I may write about the whole thing after all movies are shown)… and at the end a new trailer/ad announcing Henry IV, Part I next saturday. Debauched and ‘serious business’ Tom Hiddleston? Damn, that’s good marketing.

Only Lovers Left Alive starts filming in Detroit! [1] Of course, the cat was out of the bag the day before, when Mr. Hiddleston couldn’t contain his excitement and tweeted about it indirectly.

Here’s the trailer for new Naruto movie, Road of the Ninja, which, apparently, is about the main character getting involved in a genjutsu (illusion) in where Kyuubi never got sealed inside him and he didn’t have a crappy life. Also, it was written by Kishimoto himself… so it’s like official AU fanfiction?

What? I have told you my tastes are varied and broad! I don’t only blog about delicious Englishmen!

SUNDAY

I am really loving all the little bits of Django Unchained stuff that keeps coming! Here the first TV spot!

Talking about Bats, Warner launched two interactive websites for the movie. One is fun, where you become Gotham’s most wanted using a webcam. The other is useful, and gives you an interactive map that shows all the IMAX theaters that will have the movie.
